In the evening.
Søren left the hotel with little Vivian in his arms. Because of the last show of force, the group of Amazons had unintentionally respected him a lot. The assassin also put away his excessive curiosity. From the beginning to the end, he didn't ask why Vivian was in a deep slumber. Assassins were people who were full of secrets. One shouldn't know too many secrets. The more one knew, the easier it would be for them to be killed. It was like the Naga Siren priest had known for a long time that Søren had a sleeping little girl with him, but she had never asked about it.
Secrets may not necessarily bring benefits, but they could easily lead to danger.
Especially an assassin's secret!
…
Since he decided to go to sea, Søren naturally couldn't leave Vivian in the hotel. He was also worried about the group of Amazons. So he was going to transfer Vivian to the Sea Temple. The Sea Temple controlled nearly half of the temple area. It was very easy to find a place to settle Vivian. He didn't know how long the little girl would be asleep. Søren felt that Vivian's awakening should be directly related to his integration with the Divinity of Fear. The last time she woke up was almost after Søren had finished devouring the Divinity.
In an old house outside the Sea Temple.
Søren gently put Vivian on the bed, then reached out his palm to hold her little hand, and said in a low voice, "Control your divine power as much as possible. Don't easily expose the identity of the Child of Fear."
"I'll be back soon. It won't take long for you to wake up."
"I promise!"
Although Vivian showed no signs of waking up from beginning to end, Søren could feel that she still had a perception of the outside world. That was to say, Vivian could hear him. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why the little girl automatically opened a divine protection as soon as he left. After Søren came back, she quickly withdrew the energy protection field. Her power was still in her body, but her consciousness seemed to have entered a deep sleep for some reason, and there had been no signs of waking up.
Søren covered Vivian with a soft blanket and lay down beside her.
He would be going out to sea tomorrow, so he needed a good rest.
Sea Temple.
The figure of the Naga Siren priest stood in front of a blue sea. The bottom of the sea temple was connected to the underground sea and could directly enter the sea from here. The sea in front of her rippled slightly, and then a long and narrow creature that looked like a giant sea snake appeared. It swam to the front of the Naga Siren priest little by little, then slowly stood up and came to the high platform under the sea temple. At this time, its appearance became clear. It was a strong and ferocious male Naga guard.
Its tail was longer than the Naga Siren priest's, and its stout arm held a trident. There were few traces of humanoid features on its face, unlike the female Naga Siren who had more or less feminine facial contours. The Naga Guard was about six or seven meters long. When it stood up, it was nearly 2.4 meters tall. Its muscles were very developed, and it looked very oppressive. It bowed slightly and said, "Your Excellency."
"The Naga Siren tribe in the nearby sea has been summoned, and they will soon send warriors to respond."
The Naga Siren priest nodded slightly, and there was a satisfied smile on her face. She said in a deep voice, "Very good. Didanas. You will command the summoned warriors. We must get those treasures this time. The storm temple also seems to be moving. This wealth cannot fall into their hands. It will only strengthen our enemies. "
"The storm lord has always been coveting the great sea goddess and wants to get his hands on the sea."
The male Naga Siren nodded and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency. I don't understand why you want to give the command of the deadman's voice to that human. Although he is a powerful guy, he is only one person after all. Besides, his origin is unknown, and we can't fully trust him. "
The Naga Siren priest frowned and looked at him. Her expression became a little strange, and there seemed to be a cruel smile on her face. She said coldly, "Are you questioning my decision? Didanas. Don't try to guess my decision with your stupid head. That human is an assassin close to the legendary realm. Such a person is not much weaker than a legendary profession in battle. He is worthy of our use. Besides, after I removed the energy absorption technique from him, I felt the breath of the legendary realm on him. "
"He should have mastered some legendary level abilities. I think he is not far from becoming a legendary assassin!"
"In the past two or three hundred years, there have been very few legendary assassins. If he can be loyal to the sea temple, our enemies will wake up from their nightmares."
Legendary assassin.
If used to assassinate a member of a hostile force, it would definitely be a complete nightmare.
The Naga Siren priest seemed to see Søren turning into a sharp blade to sweep away her dissidents. She could not help but smile and said slowly, "As for loyalty? There is no absolute loyalty in this world! As long as we can give him the benefits he wants, he will be able to serve us! This person has a lot of secrets, and he definitely needs our help. Moreover, he seems to have a little girl who is sleeping. Although I did not test his secrets, I can see that he cares about this little girl very much. The relationship between the two is very close. He is under the energy absorption technique, and the little girl is probably under some strange spell. "
"If necessary, the little girl can also be our tool. I don't think he wants anything to happen to the little girl, right?"
"As long as he has a weakness, we can control him."
The Naga Siren priest showed a cruel smile, looked at the male Naga Siren guard in front of her, and said, "There are some things that you don't need to ask. Now, send out the Sharkman scouts to find the traces of the group of betrayers. We must find those guys first, otherwise, this wealth may attract more competitors! "
The male Naga Siren guard bent down gently, and then his whole body dived into the sea.
The Naga Siren priest returned to the back of the sea temple. She swam to a pool and gently chanted a spell. The water in front of her rippled like waves, and the figure of Søren gradually appeared. Next to him was Vivian, who was still sleeping. A strange light appeared in the eyes of the Naga Siren priest, and she murmured, "Who are they? That little girl seems to be a natural sorcerer? Recently, a lot of powerful guys have appeared. It seems that a group of adventurers have returned from the abyss? The sea goddess has not responded to my prayers recently. Is something big going to happen? "
"It seems that I have to speed up the preparation! … "
The Naga Siren priest slowly closed her eyes, and then her whole body sank into the sea.
Although the priests of the sea goddess had great power, they could not directly mobilize the sea races. This was because the secular and theocracy maintained a relative boundary. The kingdom of the sea creatures was a bit similar to the kingdom of humans. Few temples would directly intervene in the internal affairs of the kingdom. This was because the kingdom was a very short thing, but the gods had eternal life. They did not want to be affected by the kingdom that rose and fell in hundreds of years. The fact that the Naga Siren priest could mobilize the Naga Sirens in the nearby sea meant that her status in the secular world was not low.
It was possible that she was the royal family of the Naga Sirens. If the members of the royal family did not have the right of inheritance, they would often become priests of the sea goddess.
…
The sea was surrounded by a fog.
Søren's figure appeared three hundred meters below the sea. He stood on the deck of the deadman's voice and looked at the underwater world in front of him.
The sea drowned him, but it did not affect him at all. This was because he wore a badge on his chest that allowed him to breathe easily at the bottom of the sea. The deck of the deadman's voice was full of sailors. The Naga Sirens wandered in the hull, and the undead sharks were responsible for patrolling. There were a large number of bound spirits on this ghost ship. They were the souls that died directly or indirectly near the ghost ship. They could not participate in the battle. They were just forcibly sucked into the mast and sails of the ship. The power source of the ghost ship was these bound spirits.
There were more than eight or nine hundred of them.
The real combat power was the undead drowned, the Naga Sirens, the wraiths, and the undead sharks.
Søren silently calculated the distance of the sea and the distance they sailed. The ghost ship was not suitable to be exposed to the eyes of ordinary people, so the ghost ship left the shallow sea area from the bottom of the sea.
"Rise."
Soran frowned and looked at the fish around him. Because of the death breath on the Deadman's Voice, the fish scattered directly after encountering them and fled in all directions in embarrassment. With Søren's order, the sailors began to control the ghost ship to rise. A little light appeared in front of their eyes as they slowly rose. Then the blue sea appeared above their heads. With a loud rumbling sound, the ghost ship rushed out from the bottom of the sea.
Søren looked around and said in a deep voice, "Summon the fog. Don't let others see us. "
Wisps of gray mist filled the air.
With the ghost ship as the center, everything within a few hundred meters was shrouded in fog. This was the ghost ship's innate ability. The sea area where they appeared was often shrouded in fog. The fog on the sea today was not small. As the ghost ship's fog spread, everything nearby became hazy. The ship sailed silently on the sea. The ghosts did not like to be directly exposed to the sun. These undead sailors were indeed very powerful, but their weakness was too obvious.
"Captain."
A half-real Naga Siren came to Søren and said in a sharp voice, "I found the breath of a living person nearby."
It was the Naga Siren that he first saw. It was an independent undead creature, not bound to the ghost ship.
Living person?
They met other people so soon?
Søren frowned and came to the helmsman's position. He then took out his binoculars to observe. He could vaguely see a large ship near an island. From afar, he could see the symbol on the flagpole. It was a hollow skull with a sword and a sword under it. This was the most commonly used pirate symbol. If one did not join a special force among pirates, ordinary pirates would use such a symbol. To use a special pirate flag, one must use their own name. Otherwise, they might be attacked by other pirates because of the wrong flag.
This was an unspoken rule.
It may seem insignificant, but it was indeed related to life.
In the Central Plains, there was a custom of dragon boat racing. Generally, a flag would be hung on the dragon boat. This flag could not be hung randomly. If it was hung randomly, it might attract others to come and pull it out. In many places, the black flag was a taboo. There were once serious casualties caused by hanging a black flag on a dragon boat. In the end, the dragon boat racing was banned for many years. When the dragon boat was driven again, the same flag would be issued. If anyone dared to hang a black flag, the armed police would personally send people to pull it out. They were afraid that in the end, people would be beaten to death.
Naturally, such things did not exist in this world.
However, there were many rules about flags on the sea. Whether it was pirates, Chamber of Commerce, gangs, etc., hanging a flag was a very serious matter. The rules here were piled up by human lives. In Søren's memory, there was someone who hung a flag indiscriminately. In the end, the entire guild was wiped out by pirates. Even their base on land was kicked down overnight. There were almost no survivors.
That guy was also looking for trouble. He actually hung a flag similar to the pirate king!
From this point of view, the dangerous people in this world who made a living on land, sea, and rivers were really a bit like bandits in the jungle.
Some rules could not be violated.
Hanging a flag among pirates was like messing with the emblem of the temple. If you did not know, you were lucky. If you knew, it was normal for you to be skinned alive.
…
Looks like an ordinary pirate?
Søren frowned and pondered for a moment. Then he shouted, "Prepare for battle!"
The pirate ship in front of them should be ordinary pirates who made a living on the sea. Those who made a name for themselves had their own flag. Generally, few people would disguise themselves on it. If they were really pirates with a name, they would definitely hang it as much as possible because it could avoid a lot of trouble. Some special flags were even extraordinary items. After hanging it, even sea monsters would not easily attack it.
Søren once took on a mission to sacrifice a flag.
However, the place was not the south coast. The target of the flag sacrifice was a legendary sea monster. [Sacrificial Spirit War Flag]
"Captain?"
The Naga Siren came in front of Søren and said in a harsh voice, "They don't seem to be our target. Are we going to attack them? "
Søren frowned and looked at her, then nodded and said, "Yes. We need to conduct a battle test. "
"Forget it."
"You guys get ready for battle. I will deal with them myself. You guys are responsible for covering me. Be ready to board the ship and fight at any time. "
Søren wanted to use them to practice because he had not experienced a sea battle for a long time.
Fighting was not just about casually slashing people with swords. Different environments required different ways of fighting. These were all things that needed to be known in one's heart. Fighting on the surface of the sea or on a ship was completely different from fighting on land. Not to mention underwater battles, just fighting on a ship was not simple. This was because the ship's hull would sway, and the fighting environment was much narrower. If you were not careful, you could capsize in a ditch.
There were many people who died because of carelessness in the past!
Søren was a very cautious person. He did not want to die unknowingly because the ship was not suitable for fighting.
Moreover, he also needed to test his fighting skills.
In the past, he could run on the water when he was fighting on the sea. He was almost at the legendary level. Now, he did not have so many abilities to support him. His fighting style had also changed a lot.
Clang!
Søren looked at the undead around him and frowned slightly. Then he ordered in a deep voice, "Get the ship close. Don't get too close. Come back when you get my signal."
Splash!
Søren jumped directly into the water, leaving the Naga Siren who was a little stunned in place.
— — "Fly!"
— — "Greater Invisibility!"
After enough distance, Søren's eyes lit up, and then he began to cast continuously to test his fighting power on the sea.
He began to calculate the time.
Søren's brain began to operate like a sophisticated instrument. Under the cover of the fog, his figure directly flew out of the sea. Greater Invisibility was blessed on him. Søren directly disappeared in the air, leaving no trace in place. With a simple trick, Søren's wet clothes dried, and then he began to approach the pirate ship. Søren flew about 100 meters in the air. His flying speed was not very fast. With the blessing of Greater Invisibility, he could not see any trace at all.
Because he was now flying in stealth mode!
Because he did not have enough abilities, Søren could not cast spells to fight in the flying state because his main energy was maintaining Fly.
There was not much time.
Whether it was Fly or Greater Invisibility, the duration was calculated in terms of minutes.
Søren had to pursue the greatest result in the duration of the spell!
The distance was getting closer little by little.
Everything on the pirate ship came into Søren's vision. He saw 20 or 30 pirate sailors on the deck, the lookout on the mast, the helmsman in charge of steering the ship, and so on. These pirates were not very weak. They were stronger than many city guards. They belonged to the second grade professions, but most of them had the ability of warriors. Because of their pirate career, they were inclined to the fighting style of a wandering swordsman. Among all the enemies of bandits, the pirates' fighting power was the strongest. They were completely superior to the bandits. Only the desert bandits could be compared to them.
A minute passed.
Søren's figure began to descend. He entered the state of Stealth, but it was still Greater Invisibility that maintained his Invisibility.
The distance gradually decreased.
Søren stopped about 10 meters above the pirate ship. The light passed through his body. Unless one stared at his position carefully, they would not be able to see anything different. The enemies in front of him were very clear. The strong pirates were bored on the deck. The ship's anchor seemed to have been thrown down. These people seemed to be waiting for something. Søren continued to descend. Then, he gently landed in a corner of the ship where there was no one.
Five meters in front of him was a pirate who was drinking. Unfortunately, the pirate did not notice him at all.
"Kill the important targets first!"
Søren glanced at the enemies in front of him. Finally, he locked onto a one-eyed pirate who seemed to be the vice-captain. He quietly snuck over, and then suddenly stabbed the pirate's back with his curved sword.
Puchi!
Blood splattered. The one-eyed pirate who was yelling at his subordinates looked at his chest in disbelief. His heart had been pierced. This third-grade pirate died on the spot.
"Enemy!? … "
A large group of pirates panicked. Then, there was the sound of swords being pulled out.
They could not see anything in front of them. They could only see a curved sword emerging from the chest of the one-eyed pirate. Then, the curved sword was pulled out. Then, everything in front of them was still empty.
Søren shook off the blood on the blade. At the moment of the attack, he revealed a trace of himself. Then, he disappeared into the air again.
This was Greater Invisibility.
When he was in the state of Greater Invisibility, he would not be dispelled when attacking the enemy.
Puchi!
A head was cut off by Søren. A pirate with a beard heard the whistling sound of the sword, but he could not see the trace of the sword. He clearly heard the sound of the wind and felt the slight outline of the enemy in front of him. However, he could not see the direction of the sword. He could only block randomly. Then, in the next moment, his head was cut off.
Three throwing knives were shot out.
The moment the throwing knives left Søren's palm, they revealed a trace. Unfortunately, the enemy had no time to dodge.
Thump, thump, thump.
Streaks of blood appeared. Søren came and went as if there was no one around. In the blink of an eye, five people were killed by him. The enemy could not even determine the position of his attack. They could only feel a vague and hazy trajectory moving around them at high speed. This fear made their morale extremely low. Some people were completely stunned as if they had seen a ghost. Some people even threw their weapons.
Clang! Clang!
Søren waved his sword to block the weapons that were thrown at him. At the same time, he revealed his approximate position.
He suddenly jumped, directly jumping to a height of five or six meters. The sturdy cable connected to the mast suddenly sank a lot. The outline of a hand holding the cable could be seen, but the figure of a person could not be seen. Søren flew down from the air. With a curved sword in each hand, he slashed horizontally. In a large amount of blood, five people were killed in a row.
Large amounts of blood gushed out.
At this time, bloody footprints could be seen on the ground. Søren's figure was still very hazy. The blood on his body was also covered by the Greater Invisibility spell. However, the enemy could vaguely see that he was moving.
Unfortunately, they discovered it too late.
Three minutes later, Søren's figure stood in a pool of blood. There were more than twenty corpses around him. There were a series of footprints on the ground, but he was still invisible.
The Greater Invisibility spell lasted for about six minutes!
Soran shook off the blood on his sword, then glanced at the cabin expressionlessly. He suddenly grabbed a corpse and smashed it into the cabin. Then the two swords flashed with a cold light and cut the two enemies guarding the back of the cabin in half.
Blood covered his clothes.
The effect of the Greater Invisibility spell seemed to have weakened. Søren's figure gradually became hazy and translucent.
The effect of the spell seemed to have weakened a little.
However, this was no longer important to Soran, because he found that he seemed to have the ability to kill all the pirates on this ship.
